A SCOTLAND cap and a collection of football medals awarded to a father and son will go under the hammer tomorrow.

The memorabilia won by former Celtic star James McMenemy and his son Harry, who played for Newcastle United, dates back as far as 1900.

And the haul is expected to sell for more than £6000 when it is auctioned at Lyon and Turnbull in Edinburgh.

James was born in 1880 in Rutherglen, near Glasgow, and played for Celtic between 1902 and 1920.

He scored 168 goals in 515 appearances for the club and won five league titles in a row with Celtic between 1906 and 1910. He went on to clinch a further four consecutive league titles during the First World War.

James, who was nicknamed Napoleon, also won six Scottish Cup medals with Celtic and he later lifted the trophy with Partick Thistle in 1921.

The midfielder earned 12 Scotland caps during his glittering playing career and he scored five times.

The lot which is up for sale tomorrow includes one of his Scotland caps from 1905, as well as two gold medals he received from the Scottish Football Association for turning out against England in 1910 and 1914.

It also records successes from his earlier spell in junior football, winning medals with Cambuslang Hibs and Glencairn.

And medals and mementoes from his son Harry's career in the late 1920s and the 1930s are also up for grabs in the auction.

Harry began his own professional career with Newcastle United.

During his time with the Magpies, he was a member of the squad which won the FA Cup Final in 1932 at Wembley in controversial fashion, beating Arsenal 2-1.

The London side had led 1-0, but Newcastle's equaliser came after the ball had appeared to go out for a goal kick.

The referee ruled the ball had not crossed the line - even though photographic evidence later showed otherwise.
